Greenlake

SOLD! ASM 11 UK. Heritage listed this as 5.0. Has some toning/yellowing on the cover. Not visible in the head-on front cover pic are that some of the small marks are associated with pings to the cover. The colors are really nice in person. Asking $199 shipped, which is less than I paid.

All-Star Comics 33. The spine is mostly gone, spots on the back, just general roughness. The book seems to be taking off in lower grades, with a 3.0 having just gone for $1560 and a few months ago a couple copies with larger pieces out of the front went mid-400s. $390 shipped.

Hi everyone. I went a little crazy buying the past couple of weeks so I'm listing a couple of books from my collection I hadn't planned on listing. Both are past raw purchases from Heritage. I'm not used to selling raw books so if there's something in particular I missed feel free to mention it. Also, the camera used for everything but the main front cover pic tends to wash out red colors.

No HOS or probation. Pay preferably by paypal, but I will accept check (once cleared) and money order. Shipping is included in the price. U.S. only. No returns.

Hi all. The Wally Wood page from The Wizard King I had for sale here for a couple of days is now on Comiclink, ending Monday the 8th. I presume most of you know the book, but basically Wally wrote and drew this fantasy story late in his career and had hoped he could convince a studio to turn it into a movie.

I bought this page impulsively last year and, while I still think it's about the best example you can find without a major jump in price, I was making a couple of other tough cuts for my first consignment and had to face that this (or any W.W.) doesn't fit my current collection. I had a feeling Wally Wood might be overlooked on Clink, and currently this is trailing some of my other pieces it really shouldn't be.

I recommend against Dave & Adam's. My one order with them was the worst experience I've had in collectibles.

Wonder Woman #37 1st appearance of Circe. A cgc 4.0 went on eBay for $950, which is four and half times guide. An eighth of that would be just over $100; let's go just under a 16th -- $40

Con sketches of copyrighted characters are tolerated, but legally on shaky ground. Colleen Doran among others has talked about that. And besides, you sell prints.

You really need to hire lawyer to examine your own possible liabilities for your works before you draw any more attention to yourself. Maybe you're correct and everything's the way you think, but if you're asserting copyright over an unlicensed image of a Disney character you better have absolutely everything on your site and every recorded sale cleared first.

If that and the Marvel and Darth Vader prints you sell are unlicensed, you're better off forgetting about this.

It reposts. You just have to find the new listing. I think they expire but auto renew. There should be a new listing. Unfortunately you will have to search for it. Its not like others where it says sell relisted item. 

I know they're normally automated, I've sold through them before, but for whatever reason this one hasn't relisted on eBay even though it's still for sale.

In my experience it is almost always cheaper on their website anyway?  I see 10-20% markup differences between their website and ebay list to account for comissions and shipping.

That's true without the discount. They mark it up on eBay, but if you go through their site they add a 3% fee on consignments and charge separately for shipping. For this book, the 15% off coupon would end up about 8% off versus their website.

I added a book from MCS to my cart on eBay maybe a week ago and was thinking about getting the app to use this coupon, but it turns out they let the eBay listing expire yesterday even though it's still unsold on their site.

The cover went for $1805 and the ad got $1851. As far as I know the main options with them are to save their emails, bid or add items to your watch list.

In my opinion that's a bad X-men 1 to trade for at even-GPA, much less behind. Those edges are going to hold down its value. Also, the GSX1 looks unpressed and the trader is probably banking on it upgrading. If anything, you should be the one asking for cash above GPA. Personally I'd wait for a better book.

The 22 7.0 from Comic Connect did not look nearly as nice as the 22 7.0 from Comic Link.

I thought the opposite, but I had remaining questions about both.

Just picked this piece up last weekend at a Flea Market (sorry it is a little blurry).  I believe it is a page from Speed Comics 32 by Jill Elgin, from a feature called Girl Commandos, 1944.  I grabbed it mainly because of the dark war subject matter.  I've never heard of the artist but I'd be curious to hear what some of you think of it. 

It's a nice pick up, especially because her stuff seems to disappear in collections. There are a lot more examples in the Heritage sales archives than on CAF, for instance. That said, I think she was better at more dynamic work and making complicated scenes easy to read with the eye.

No. That and the Sensation #22, which went almost 50% above the 7.0 on CC a while ago, have been near the top of my WW list for a while but I wasn't all-out on either tonight. There are some even tougher books and a dream piece of OA in preview, so I put in moderate bids and got blown out of the water.

Married, by far. Although obviously I'd prefer all-original, I see marrying missing pages or a cover to a book as a positive action and trimming as a severely negative one.

I though this Giordano Black Canary cover on Sunday was pretty at $2K, but $6600 is pretty shocking-

https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/covers/-giordano-black-canary-1-cover-original-art-dc-1991-/a/121908-15076.s

I put in the first bid thinking it was nice and had a chance of going cheap. Ha.

I won a graded 7.5 in the Signature auction, then watched the same issue in raw 4.0 go for more in the Sunday auction. That was interesting. First time for everything.

I see people bet on HA undergrading far too often, but that was ridiculous. There has to be something else going on. And there's a third copy coming up. Let's see if a raw 1.8 beats a CGC 7.5. Anyway, congratulations on the win.

Bump and small drop in price.

Closed and moved.

Moved elsewhere.

He is putting up a little bit of resistance, using the "friends and family" option on paypal as the red herring.

That's apparently a week old. I hope seeing Bill Cox on CAF believe RS88 has made it sink in for the buyer that his story doesn't hold water, and this is going to hang over him unless he owns up to what really happened.

I think their auction description was screwed up:

"The Amazing Spider-Man #1 (Marvel, 1963) Condition: FR. Spider-Man's origin is retold. First Fantastic Four crossover. First appearances of John Jameson, J. Jonah Jameson, and the Chameleon. Steve Ditko cover and art. Currently ranks #7 on Overstreet's list of Top 50 Silver Age Comics. Overstreet 2018 GD 2.0 value = $2,400. "

No, this is how they always list books. They list the book's grade at the start, in this case fair or 1.0, and near the end they list the Overstreet value for the nearest increment(s). You can see the comp books listed all say "FR 1.0."

Well, I'm glad I have a low grade copy. I missed the 4.0 on eBay that went for $950, so I bid a higher amount on this one (if you include fees) and I got WAY blown out, I wasn't even in the top few people.

 

I hope someone here won and they have a slightly lower grade one they want to sell;)

I can't help but wonder how that copy I returned to MCS (that had a screwy, possibly moldy inside front cover) would've graded out. Oh well. I like the book and was in bidding before the session, but at $300 a point I have other priorities.
